English Translation

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Children of Israel used to bathe naked, looking at one another's private parts. But Musa عليه السلام used to bathe alone. They said: By Allah, nothing prevents Musa from bathing with us except that he has a hernia. One day he went to bathe and placed his garment on a stone, and the stone fled with his garment. Musa chased after it saying: My garment, O stone! My garment, O stone! Until the Children of Israel saw him and said: By Allah, there is nothing wrong with Musa. He took his garment and began striking the stone.'
